What's With All Those Commercials For Miraculous "Caplets?"
You know? Like on CNN every other commercial is some look-it's-people-just-like-me thing where they have some common problem (weight, vision loss, sexual stuff, fatigue, whatever) that is solved by this artfully packaged "caplets" and there are free samples.

It just strikes me as weird!!

Hey why don't we all organize and call for those free samples and post them here. Like that one, "now I'm feeling intimate again" says the tired lady turned smiling/bouncing on the bed lady. What could they possibly have in them to make this actress on the commercial want to have sex with her husband when before she didn't?

Anybody want to try that stuff and tell us what happened?

3. To get some of those 'free' samples
you have to give them a credit card number, they give you the first set free but want the card number so they can keep refilling the supply and charging you. :argh: I know because just out of curiosity I looked at the sites for some of them to find out if they were really free, bet it is not easy to stop them from sending and sending once they can charge your card for them.

4. What A RIP!
I HATE THAT!! My husband subscribes to Sports Illustrated and they have a rip off thing like that, where they send you a coffee table book of freaking swimsuit models and then you mail it back if you don't want it and they bill you.

I called them and said I didn't want to pay to send it back...they said they would send me a pre-paid label but it never came. They also said that when he renewed his mag subscription he "chose" to "be in this program," bullshit! That kind of thing really pisses me off...
